Gemmill 44498 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 He's home now sadly. And despite spending 4 days in hospital, he's still saying he had covid and it "wasn't too bad". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13837 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Well, when you’ve had to sing “I’m too Sexy” for most of your adult life, COVID is probably tame compared to that mental anguish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7280 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 How many of the steady flow of deaths are of people who are vaccinated? I know the average age of those dying there is pushing 80, though there are still plenty that are under 60 also dying. Just considering what will happen here when we inevitably begin to ease restrictions once the vaccination levels reach 70 or 80%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just considering what will happen here when we inevitably begin to ease restrictions once the vaccination levels reach 70 or 80%. It's an interesting question and i don't know. I had a look and it seems in the UK data analysis on this is being published next month. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/announcements/deaths-involving-covid-19-by-vaccination-status-england-deaths-occurring-between-1-january-and-2-july-2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7009 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Ah good. The vaccines are only 50% effective after 4 months. Thrice yearly boosters anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depressing. Yeah, looks like a booster is needed, Israel data is a worry. Like last year this month may be as good as it gets (and it's already a lot worse now than last August now in terms of cases, admissions, and deaths).

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I read an argument that catching the virus offers better immunity than any vaccine. If you're protected against serious illness then better catching it than a booster. Something to do with natural immunity targeting all proteins rather than just the spike protein.

Dr Gloom 21847 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I’m more or less at peace with the fact we’re all going to have to get this virus at some point. Know loads of doubke-jabbed people who’ve had it now. One colleague had it twice in the space of 7 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 But that's a different issue. The question posed was is it better to catch the virus vs booster jabs for those already vaccinated. Natural immunity attacks more than the spike protein and thus is better equipped for variants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a slim chance you might die, and a higher chance you might be long term fucked by it.
